If the budget allows it, or if you can find a good price on an experienced one
I like the HD Pentax-DA 16-85mm F3.5-5.6 ED DC WR
" HD Pentax-DA 16-85mm F3.5-5.6 Conclusion
ThePentax DA 16-85mm is an exciting addition to the Pentax K-mount lineup of standard zoom lenses, as it delivers an unprecedented mix of versatility and image quality. This characteristic makes it a stellar choice for demanding photographers who are looking for a high-performance all-in-one lens that can produce pleasing images straight out of camera. "
" Who Is It For?
We feel that this lens appeals to a very large crowd consisting of beginners looking for a single all-purpose lens with the best available image quality or advanced users in need of a versatile zoom lens to supplement a lineup of primes. It's also a great choice for shooting in inclement weather thanks to its weather sealing. From an image quality standpoint, the 16-85mm should be chosen over the 18-135mm unless you consistently tend to shoot at the long end of the zoom range."
HD Pentax-DA 16-85mm F3.5-5.6 Review - Introduction | PentaxForums.com Reviews
I'm no expert, that is for sure but it might fit the OP's statement about what he likes to photograph
" shoot outdoor landscapes, as well as urban shots. Naturally, I also enjoy shooting things at home like candid family shots.. "
there is overlap, however, with the primes he already has 28 mm and 50 mm

If the OP has mentioned what type of photography he enjoys I missed it.
without that info, it is kinda hard to recommend the type of DSLR lenses to recommend
for example I enjoy wildlife photography and I am trying to learn how to do that as well as how to do macro photography " in the field "
I use a older SMC Pentax-D FA 100mm F2.8 Macro which gives me 1:1 magnification and a short telephoto prime.
I like it very much

one way you can learn about possible lenses you are already doing, asking others for advice and suggestions
another way is to read reviews of the lenses under " Lenses " above
those are free methods
once you have done that stuff you might want to consider a third option but that would cost $ - renting some lenses and trying your own tests
I have used LensRentals.com - Rent Lenses and Cameras from Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Sony, Leica, and more with success. They are from Tennessee and there is also
borrow lenses.com
Rent professional cameras or camera lenses for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Leica and Pentax
but I have no experience with them
